Matter of time either way.
Do we gain any places up the table?
Nope, but we could drop below Tottenham if we lose.
Assume Rooney will be dropping back as usual. Need to take full control of the midfield.
Yes, I would also have gone with Young. Perhaps he wants Januzai to the left and Valencia is the more rested player. I am 100% Young will come on in the second half and get a goal.
Nice one. There's options there if we need a goal and more defensive cover than usual.
Have a bad feeling about this.
You can tell it really pains McManaman to say anything positive about United.
Young has been rested after playing the Hull and Norwich games. Valencia's been picked due to him being the fresher of the two IMO. I know Valencia has been Fergie and Moyes's preferred first choice anyway but I think Moyes would have persisted with Young if the games had not been so thick and fast. He's been providing goals and assists which is something our wingers have not been consistently doing for a while.
Hopefully a convincing win, the team needs to make OT a tough place to come to and hope for even a draw. Too many teams come with so much confidence these days, it has to change. Will having one rest day more than Spurs matter ?
The power of Capoue & Dembele worrying you up against Cleverely and a not fit Carrick? Yep. Midfield, every time.
We must win today after the others winning
We shouldn't worry too much about Lennon, he's clearly been rushed back from injury for this one.
Rooney will drop back....
Let's hope Valencia continues to play with his recent good form - which is actually average at best, but compared to his previous shitness is very good
I'm more worried about Dembele bossing the midfield like he always does against us. Capoue is incredibly slow so I'm not too worried about him. Basically Dembele and how Walker/Lennon combine against Evra/Januzaj.
A half-fit Lennon is still more than a match for Evra.
Same as Rooney then?
hoping for a fantastic atmosphere and a great start from the lads.....a start like the one at Villa would be perfect
If AVB was still in charge I would be far more pessimistic. Like the line-up and I think Spurs will give us space to play.
Agree with this. Far happier up against Sherwood that AVB
I can see a big win for Utd today, good mobility up front and solidity at the back
Bit pathetic from Sherwood saying he wish Rooney was still injured. Of course he hopes for that, but to say it on TV is out of order.
Sherwood is like a competition winner in charge of a club. He won't last.
Just badly worded probably.
There was no malice in it.
Not necessarily, depends on the severity of their injuries, from what I heard Lennon's injury could have stopped him from playing. We'll see.
There's a bit of a love in going on between the players in the tunnel.
Webb? Balls...
Great to see Januzaj start.
Adebayor seems inordinately happy.
Big big game. Come on United.
Januzaj last on the pitch, he's picking up some definite #7 sort of habits
I'm home to watch a midweek game live best way to start the new year.
Cmon United !!!
Come on united! Let's thrash these spurs
Anyone got a sopcast link?
4-0 victory.
